They’re doing just fine since the departure of Zayn Malik, and the lads of One Direction stopped by the “Late Late Show with James Corden” on Thursday night (May 14) to chat about their reduced number.

It’s no secret that social media isn’t the most helpful arena for sorting out conflict, and when Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson threw down on Twitter yesterday (May 6) One Direction fans took aim at the recently departed band member.

He’s been maintaining radio silence ever since announcing his departure from his popular boy band, and Zayn Malik finally reached out to One Direction fans via Twitter.

The 22-year-old English heartthrob tweeted, “Wanna say thanks to everyone that’s been there for me over the last few weeks, love you all. You know who you are x. The x is a kiss by the way ha it’s not a mystery… sorry to any confused.”
